Insurance Advisernet HR and WHS Support

Getting it right, upfront.

In 2023, reactive advice lines and ad hoc templates are inadequate for meeting the specific needs of each business, emphasising the necessity for a proactive Risk Management approach towards HR & WHS practices in the workplace.

COMPLIANCE UP, RISK DOWN

Insurance Advisernet is working with Business 360 to ensure that you have access to experts who will work directly with you to create & update your current systems to 2023 standards.

Identify Employment Practices HR Risks and Become a Best Practice Australian Workplace

Insurance Advisernet and Business 360 have developed the EPL Risk and Compliance Audit tool to assist you to elevate your client’s awareness about their non-compliance risks and exposure to employment practice disputes. This tool provides a high-level assessment of:

  1. You and your client’s level of awareness of their legal obligations
  2. Preparedness to demonstrate HR and WHS employment practices to meet policy wording and legislated standards.

Employment Practices Risk

Employment relations or HR is a complex and difficult area to keep up to date, with a constantly changing landscape of new laws being added or changed. Through you, as risk management advisers, Business 360 is here to assist and add value to your client relationships. Together our aim is to help businesses be aware, be prepared and be proactive in managing the risks with employment relations and the disruption it can cause the workplace.

Australia has complex national workplace relations legislation covering Types of Employment, Industrial Instruments that govern Wages, Entitlements and Conditions. Having these correctly determined is paramount before any document system is created and implemented.

Insurance Advisernet’s partnership with business 360 provides brokers access to education, information and advice about managing workplace risks and helping with ‘hands-on’ support to effectively address employment matters.
